Pete Stark: “there doesn't seem to be a program, other than tax cuts, to deal with the 6 million people”

I happen to be a fan of his bill to get rid of this idea that if a physician doesn't take Medicare, they are out of the system for 2 years.

First, you could pay the penalty and remain uninsured.

What is shocking to me is that you want to spend even more than that and yet leave 30 million people without health care.

I strongly oppose these budget cuts which are kind of like the cable company starting to bill you for a service while you are at home waiting for them to show up and connect it.
